BxsY was CALM

- 1--WE
One of the Bixby children was
seized with fit of Group the other
night. Bixby heard the little fell
lows labored breathing, and bound
ing clear over the footboard OF
the bed yelled Group in about
the same voice that the escaped i'd
lot wells fire at the theatre.
Then he tried to put his trousers
on over his head, but finally got
them en- wrong side in front.
'JumplN he screamed to his wife,
there isn't a second to lose /! Get
the syrup of squiIls! Put on a tub
Of hot water! Give him something
to drink! Get hot fianneIs on his
chest Instantly Hurryl hurry !
Don't lie there doing nothing while
tie child is choking to deAthl Fly
round'
Mrs. Bixby is one of those meek
but eminently sensible aud practi-
cal little women who never get a
tenth part of the credit FOR the good
they do in this world. While Blk
by was racing up and down stairs,
declaring that nobody was doing
anything but himself, Mrs. Bixby
quietly took the little sufferer in
hand.
DO something quickr screeched
BiSby, as he upset a pan of hot
water on the bead and turned a
saucer OF melted lard over on the
dressing case. Here, somebody,
quickP he yelled. Cant anybody
do a thing out me? Run for the
doctor, some of you. Give tie
child some more squills. Is there
anything hot at his feet? Give him
aconlte. lie ought to have a spoon
of oil. If he don't get relief in>
stantly he'll die, and here there's
nobody trying to do a thing but
me! Bring him some warm water
with a little soda in il He ought
to ha~e been put into a hot bath
an hour ago. Heat up the bath
room! What's on his chest! Great
heavens! has the child got to die
because no one will do a thing for
him?'
Mrs. Bixhy quietly and unaided
brings the child around all right
and sits with him until daylight,
after she has qaicted Bixby down
and got him to bed.
And next morning he has the
gall to say at the Office:
Ono of my little chaps nearly
died with Group last night, and |
had mighty hard work bringing
him around all right, but l did AZ
ter working like a Trojan all night.
1t is terrible disease and scares
women nearly to death. They
fly all to pieces right off. A per-
son wants their wits about them.
You want to keep perfectly cool
and not fool away second in
mysteries. That's where man
has the advantage over a wo
man IN managing a case Of Group.
It's mighty lucky l was at home
to take my little chap in hand.

through a coach and saw an old

FATAL JESEING.
A Man accidentally Killed by His
Best Friend.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March ia spe-
cial from Moorehead, KY, says: An
other OF Moorehead's citizens breathed
his last this morning, at the hands OF
his best and most esteemed friend.
]. 7. Witcher, formerly a conductor
on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
was talking to his friend, John Trum-
bo, and playfully remarked: Icould
cut cut your throat, Trumbo, were you
and to get into a fight, before you
could draw your pistol to save your
life."
"Well," said Trumbo, II will just
show you that you couldn't" Thus
saying he pulled his pistol, pointing
it at Witcher, when the deadly weap-
on went off and Witcher fell to the
floor dead. 1t is said these man en-
tertained not the least malice toward
each other and never had any difficult
ty. 1t was an accident and not done

A LITTLE SCHOLAR.

While their lessons for the morrow
All the other children learn,
Oft see tiny fodder
With look of grave concern.
On her lap che spreads a volume,
And clothes pin is her pen:
By herse she softly chatters,
-Four and six and two and ten"
In her quiet little corner,
On her brow studious fr0wn,
How she pores above those pages
They are just now upside down
Till the bee like droniRg ceases
If beg my little wren
For kiss, / get this answer:
-Four and six and two and ten"
At his very busy playmate
Pussy looks with blinking eyes;
Then she stands him in the corner,
Very much to his surprise;
And the holds the book before him,
Though he mewS a protest then,
She is teaching puss his lesson
-Four and six and two and ton"
In the tranquil hush of bed time,
When the good night kiIses fall,
From her lonely little corner
My wee scholar then call;
And l ask her how much she loves me-
Press her rose lips once again;
While she hugs me and she whispers,
-Four and six and two and ten"
